For Best Kilt Pics...

So at the correct camera angle these kilts are the right length?

Well, well, sometimes there is no cure. Imagine how it should have looked if taken from ground level!

PLEASE! Will people stop posting this picture... It's scaring me!

Edit: Perhaps that should read 'scarring' me...

I have had to be pretty hard core with some of the kilt makers on hem length. I tell them 22 inches total length from top of waist band to hem measured at the sides. I have to wear the kilt tops at the top of my hip bones. I get real specific when they only ask for my height, as there are way too many assumptions involved deriving hem from height.
I've already grumped about non standard waist sizing elswhere - That is with the straps adjusted where?

I find the best way to get a good kilt photo is hand the camera to my wife. She's a right dab hand. No lopped heads. No chopped feet. If she's not handy, another way is to get the camera person / camera on a timer, to stand a way off from the subject with the camera resolution (digital obviously) set to as high as possible. Makes for a massive file initially but it's a simple process to crop it then re-size it and it doesn't distort the perspective. Bit of a long way round but it works for me anyway.
